Books Vs Kindle

I love books and have grown up being surrounded by them, the feel, touch, smell of old and new books still intoxicate and comfort me. They are my best friends for life to whom I return to in times of sadness, happiness.
I grew up reading books and they are my favorite and special pastime. Nothing can compare or replace sitting by a crackling fire, turning the pages of a leather-bound book or lounging on a beach, or sunning in a hill station with a good dog-eared paperback.
The birth of “Kindle” or “E-Books has brought a new world of e-books to book lovers all over the world and however much one may love holding a book, turning its pages, etc, today is indeed the world of Kindle and E-Books. E-Books unlike books make buying books easier, can’t beat the portability but were disturbed by thoughts like what if getting a kindle turned me away from my loved books, would reading become an irresistible convenient and somehow less joyful experience.
The main advantage of Kindles is that it’s easily portable, Kindle and E-Readers can jam-pack as many books they want, they can be carried from place to place easily be it a plane, train car, etc. You are given a choice of reading all your favorite books in one place without having to go to a book store or wait for delivery, as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection you can read whatever book you want right there and then. New releases tend to be cheaper on Kindle and you get a varied choice of classic novels which are free of cost. E-Books are convenient as you can purchase a book directly from your laptop, cell phone, It appears in minutes on your device and you can start reading it in a matter of minutes. There are no shipping expenses, but at the same time we give up the joy of searching our favorite books in a book shop which is an experience in itself.: Reading an E-Book has a lot of advantages over traditional books, the biggest being that you can adjust the size of the text, change the font and color to your liking. When you buy an e-book you are, you are not really buying a book in a traditional way, you are instead renting it out, you have no right to bequeath or sell it.
There is no such thing as “USED BOOK” so if you are an avid second-hand book shopper you may end up paying a lot more for some titles. Lending books to people is a lot harder, the biggest drawback of kindle is that you need to purchase a device to read them on and you must keep that device charged, E-books use electricity.
In the end, reading a “Real Book” is just much “Nicer”. There is something about turning the pages, holding the book that just feels right and perfect. Hugging a book can make you feel happy and comforting. A book is much nicer to take to bed than an E-Reader and if you love books enough to keep them, they stay on your shelf like an old friend forever that you can always stop by and visit whenever you feel like.
For me, I still love and yearn & treasure my old fashioned books and I guess it’s a personal choice and I still will go on displaying my old traditional books and I believe that the traditional books will never disappear or go outdated….
